Classroom Uses
Kindergarten and First
Grade Students will learn to:
 |
gather data about
themselves and their surrounding to answer questions that involve multiple
responses |
|
sort and classify
objects and organize data according to the attributes of the objects |
|
represent data to
convey results at a glance using concrete objects, pictures and numbers |
Primary students can
use Excel templates created
by the teacher. Class graphs are a great way to display
data gathered by the students.
Examples
Second and Third Grade Students
will learn to:
|
ask
questions they want to investigate |
|
collect data using
observations, measurements, surveys or experiments |
|

analyze data and present it to an audience either in or outside the
classroom |
Second and third Graders can use templates and
begin creating simple charts using chart wizard in Excel. Whole class as well
as individual charts and graphs can be created by these students. Young
students want to gather information about themselves.
Examples
Fourth
and Fifth Grade Students will learn to:
|
formulate multiple
questions for an extended investigation |
|
compare and analyze
representations |
|
formulate answers
to questions and hypotheses and design further questions to study and
explore |
|
look beyond
themselves and the classroom and investigate larger issues and questions |
Fourth and fifth graders build and format charts and
graphs independently. They explore and make decisions on what design best
displays the information they have gathered.
Examples
Middle School
Students will learn to:
|
develop a greater
understanding of formulas and functions in Excel |
|
formulate multiple
questions for an further investigation |
|
compare and analyze
representations of increasing complexity |
|
formulate answers
to questions and hypotheses and design further questions to study and
explore |
|
look beyond
themselves and the classroom and investigate larger issues and questions |
